That's really cool, I could never be a professional artist lol. I literally draw once every two to three years, get really inspired and draw something really detailed and then don't draw again for years. And thanks, my avi was the result of one of my drawing moments a couple years ago :)
Yeah, I saw the AWB but have kind of been keeping a distance because there are SO many people already on there and into the throe of things, I think I might wait until spring semester is over before trying to join lol as right now classwork just keeps me too busy.
Great to meet you too :)

A fellow dragon on the site :O Sorry, I just had to message you after seeing your avi :) Did you draw it yourself? It's quite impressive!

Tollam, I saw your message in the forums and saw you were doing a book signing tour. Can you please tell me how that works? My book, Jessup and the Teleporter, has been accepted by a small christian publisher and said there would be book tours and book signings. I am excited!!! Just wondering what to expect! Does the publisher pay for this tour, and pay me to be away? Please let me know all the tiniest details. I'll eat them all up!!! THANK YOU!!

Sincerely,
Donna
Jessup and the Teleporter

Hi Sophie,

I noticed you have a book by Safkhet Publishing. I have been offered a contract with them. How do you find them? Are they any good? Thanks!

Hi Congrats, Who did you sing with and what was ther process?
How do i contact and submit my manuscript?
Thanks

Hello Sophie,

Hope you are well. Maybe you would like to try out my new satire, Doghouse Blues. Here is an endorsement:

I was attracted to Doghouse Blues from the pitch alone because it was so very different. There are so many budding writers out there who want to earn the same sort of money as J K Rowling by writing exactly the same kind of book and , to be frank, I am getting a bit tired of it.
This, on the other hand, struck me as being an original piece of work. The product of a lively mind and written by someone who is an excellent observer of the real world out there and who knows how to translate his observations into print. Just the right amount of dialogue, which carries the story along well.
I have not read the complete book (yet) but have dipped into it fairly freely to see if the momentum is maintained. It certainly is.
Philip John

Looking forward to reading your comments on the Doghouse Blues webpage.

All the best,

Clive

Hi Sophie
I’m sitting here at 120, with your help I can get further towards the ED. My stories are titled ‘Tales for Children’. The title says it all really, but adults like to read them too. So if you fancy something different then please give it a try. I will read swap and give comments.
Thanks in advance
Brian.

Something's gotta give, in the end. Thank goodness for Facebook, right? :D

I totally understand, Sophie, and I'm sure everyone else does, too. I've been doing so much lurking lately it's just crazy and then when I do pop in, it seems no one's around. Ah, well. :)

Hope you get to have a nice relaxing weekend! :)

Hello, my name is James Revino. I am the author of ‘Hollow.’ I was wondering if you might be able to take a look at my work and tell me what you think, good and bad. Any critique would be much appreciated, it is the best way to improve. Of course, if you wanted to back it, that would be great as well. Have a good day, and thanks for your time.

Thank you for the backing, Sophie! I really appreciate it! :)

Thank you!

I appreciate the Back ^_^ And so happy and excited with all your success thus far!! Keep up the good work!

"The Prince and the Singularity – A Circular Tale" is a book with one big advantage, one only needs to read the first 40 lines to know whether one is going to like the story or not. If after the first 40 lines you're not hooked, no need to bother reading the rest.

Hi there! I just wanted to say “hi” and introduce myself. My name is Michelle, and I am a Christian non-fiction writer here on Authonomy. I am new, but would love to help you in any way I can.

I have four books here, but would appreciate it so very much if you would take the time to comment and review just one:

http://authonomy.com/books/47250/a-woman-inspired-collection-1/

I know you may not agree with the content, and that’s okay. I would simply love your opinion on the introduction and my general writing style.

My first book is the one most readers seem to identify with, because it is born out of my life experiences. To sum it up, I would say it’s about finding the extraordinary presence of God in the ordinary course of life.

My second book is in a "Dear Abby" format, and the answers can be quite cut and dry.

My third and fourth books are in the style of daily devotionals...

But, to come and meet me and my amazing family, which I truly hope you will...you'll find us in the first book.

I hope my stories put a smile on your face today, and warmth in your heart.

Thank you so much for your time! I will review and comment on your book in return.

I also have shelf space, and if I love your book, I will shelve it and back it!

Warmly,

Michelle

The life of faith is not simply a life of mounting up with wings, but a life of walking and not fainting.

Since that Fuzzy book is now gone, why not take a look at my book STARSHY? All constructive feedback and empty compliments welcome.

Hi there – it’s me again…

BLOODSTONES is so close to the Ed's desk I can almost smell the mahogany. I was briefly at number one, but we're all jostling for space up there in the top five and I'm slipping away...aaargh!

If you could give me a few days on your shelf, I might just make it to the end of the month and that all important Harper Collins Editor’s read.

So if there’s some room for me on your stylish bookshelf, many thanks, all the best from me, your Authonomy friend, Cas.

I won’t forget you…

Hi Sophie,
Congradulations on being published. Will your book be available in e-book format on Amazon? Let me know since I do love Sci Fi. Meanwhile I'd like you to take a look at my new book:
Are you unhappy with the dysfunctional U.S. Congress and interested in doing something about it. I am and have written a book explaining how we can change things and also describing some of the things that need to be changed.

On August 15th I am posting my book, Stop the Insanity, on Authonomy. A large number of friends on Authonomy have agreed to support the book so I am quite confident it will move rapidly up the ED chart and anyone who backs it will receive a boost in their TSR rating.

Naturally I don’t expect people to back my book simply because it will help your TSR. Still I need your backing and am prepared to send you the first chapter in advance so you can take a look. Send your e-mail address to me at: david@teddybeareducation.com and I will send the first chapter in a word file so you can decide if you will help.

Or, if you don’t have time to take a look before next Wednesday please take a look after it is posted. Quite frankly my goal is to reach the ED so HC can take a look and hopefully publish the book which would be a big first step towards doing something about our dysfunctional Congress. So I would greatly appreciate your backing of the book even if is is just for a few weeks as it soars from 5,000 plus to under 300 on the ED rankings. And of course I want constructive comments on how to improve the writing so I can make my points even clearer. And if you disagree with some of the things I say please write and let me know what you disagree with and why. My plan is to self publish the book before year end so I need all the input I can get for helpful editing.

Sincerely,

David Welch/dloganw

Congratulations on the publish Sophie!

I've added your book to my forum for dragon books, http://www.authonomy.com/forums/threads/101742/here-there-be-dragons-/?pagenumber=1#AnchorPostId2688082, good luck!
